Me 3!!! But Weller isn't getting dropped. I don't know why he's not getting dropped. God knows we'd all like to see him dropped. But he's not getting dropped.These are the same changes I'd make.

On this board, posting this vid is obvious, shallow like bait. It's almost tawdry how effectively it'll get likes, from all and sundry.Remember last year.
Go Saints
This is what North Melbourne did to us!Apparently Leon Cameron said after the Giants beat the Tigers last week that they deliberately played a "kicking game" and reduced their number of handballs. The idea being that too much handballing allows Richmond to ramp up the pressure on the opposition ball carrier.
It will be interesting to see if we attempt something similar this week and if we have the skill level necessary to carry it off, if we do. I think the Giants have got us covered in the foot skiils department. Probably worth a try though.

I suspect its more about moving the ball away from the contest area as quickly as possible rather than a Hawthorn style possession game. Three or four sideways handballs invites the pressure that Richmonds game is built on. They win the turnover and they are already running forward.Apparently Leon Cameron said after the Giants beat the Tigers last week that they deliberately played a "kicking game" and reduced their number of handballs.

Is the club planning on playing this at the game or is it more just an idea?
David Mission's book "The Bubble" which was an insight into his years working under RTB was a real insight into a seasons preparation.Like Bruce he missed the preseason and never got his previous form back.
Agree with that mate, which is why I said in my original post that if Newnes could get his tackling rate close to Wellers, he’d be a huge upgrade.Think the other 2 are therefor different reasons. They have forward pressure newnes really doesn’t. All 3 probably need replacing for us to really improve

I'm sure the club knows best....Like his pressure and big body.

Newnes is a career 3 tackles per game player, which reflects his outside position. Since moving to the forward line his tackling numbers have been generally consistent with his career numbers.
Ideally you would have only one of Newnes and Weller in the team, but Weller is more like a 4 tackles per game player and plays taller.
I would have my ideal front seven at the moment as Membrey, Battle & Marshall as marking targets (Marshall offers slightly more than McCartin at the moment) and Gresham, Long, Newnes and Billings as the non-marking players, with Billings & Gresham also spending some time in the midfield, with Armitage and Acres spending time up forward out of the midfield rotation.
I'm sure the club knows best....
this exactly ... honestly Weller is the most frustrating player .. he shows a short snippit of the player he was then bang he go's back to the player he is ... players who have only one semi ok trait shouldnt be in the team .. we finnaly got longer out Mav Weller should be the next one to move out of the team ... but knowing us we will drop Lonie againAs a forward , i'd rather the guy who kicks twice as many goals, than the guy who tackles a bit more and plays taller.

David Mission's book "The Bubble" which was an insight into his years working under RTB was a real insight into a seasons preparation.
He basically said a player would be behind the 8 ball for a forth coming season if:
You missed sessions during the lead up to X-mas due to an injury...surgery or a niggle.
You missed sessions leading into the pre season due to the above.
You get injured early in a season and during.
He said it's absolutely crucial that a player has an un interrupted pre season and season proper although most players would be carrying a little something at this time of the year.
Due to the above I cringe everytime a player is announced as having some type of injury.
